Significance

Delhi has long been wary of formal alliances, though, as it insists on strategic autonomy.

Impacts

Delhi and Washington may pursue joint infrastructure projects in South Asia.
Stronger India-US ties will bring China and Pakistan closer together and worsen tensions between Islamabad and Delhi.
The United States is unlikely to place sanctions on India for agreeing to purchase the S-400 missile defence system from Russia.
